Don’t let snoring damage your marriage
Snoring can be a serious problem that may eventually lead to separate bedrooms and sometimes to separation with partners. It can create serious problems not only in a marriage, but also in one's health. Snoring is not just affecting the quality sleep; poor sleep can lead to daytime fatigue, irritability and increased health problems too.
Well, there are new developments around the snoring world. The cause of all snoring is not the same — everyone snores for different reasons. When we get to the bottom of why we snore, then we can find the right solutions to a better sleep.
Some scientists found that 75 percent of people who snore have obstructive sleep apnea (when breathing is disrupted during sleep for short periods), which increases the risk of developing heart disease. Here are some tips to help you get soundless sleep:
Change your sleep position — Lying on back makes the tongue collapse to the back wall of your throat, causing a vibrating sound during sleep. Sleeping on your side may help prevent this. A full-length pillow that supports your entire body provides an easy fix.
Recline the bed with the head up and extended — The position helps open up nasal airway passages and may help prevent snoring. Although this not good for neck pain, but if snoring continues regardless of the sleep position, obstructive sleep apnea may be a cause, which is dangerous.
Loose extra pounds — When someone gained weight and started snoring and did not snore before that, weight loss may help. Fat around neck squeezes the internal diameter of the throat, making it more likely to collapse during sleeps that ultimately causes snoring.
Drink plenty of fluids — Secretions in one's nose and soft palate become stickier when s/he is dehydrated. This may create more snoring.
Remove allergens in bedroom — You need to clean up the overhead ceiling fan's dust and replace your dirty pillows time to time to get rid of the condition.
